Guess it's a matter of how much the mirror-people will put up with.
I highly doubt that, as I've been using SUSE since 6.x days, and everything has always been in one place, as it should be
Well, a combination of wanting to show off our openess - and the mirrormaintainers not wanting to mirror the same quite large repo twice (i.e. having inst-source on both ftp.suse.com and opensuse. Maybe another idea could be to have some kind of link from the ftp.suse.com mirrors to the inst-sources on opensuse-mirrors. Not sure if it's technically possible.
OpenSUSE should be reserved for working on the next SUSE release, and the finished/finalized product should be moved to the suse.com mirrors, to avoid any confusion.
This is a good idea actually. This would solve the problem with needing two different mirrors. Guess it would also be easier for mirror-maintainers to comprehend. And at the same time perhaps it would reduce the number of people who believe they're using some Linux distro called OpenSUSE (I've never heard seen it personally, but a lot of people talk about it ;) ). cb400f
